What is the function of a cell wall?

to protect and support the cell

to perform different functions in each cell

to prevent water from passing through it

to prevent oxygen from entering the cell

What happens to a cell placed in an isotonic solution?

there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane

more water passes out of the cell than into the cell

more water passes into the cell than out of the cell

solute molecules pass out of the cell

Water lilies grow in freshwater ecosystems. When a water lily is kept in seawater, it wilts. Which statement best describes what happens to the water lily plants in seawater?

freshwater moves out of the cells by osmosis

seawater moves into the cells by osmosis

the cells get less oxygen from the seawater

the cells lose all important nutrients to the seawater

Why will an animal cell that is surrounded by fresh water burst?

solutes will move out of the cell

solutes will move into the cell

Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is found in both animal cells and plant cells. There are two types of ER, smooth and rough. Smooth ER produces lipids, while rough ER produces proteins. Which statement explains the reason for naming one of the ER types as smooth?

Smooth ER lacks ribosomes on its surface.

Smooth ER secretes fats that make its surface slick.

Smooth ER is not surrounded by a membrane.

Smooth ER is mainly present in smooth muscles.

if you put a plant in salt water it will ...

shrivel because water diffuses out of the cell

swell because water diffuses into the cells

swell because water diffuses out of the cell

What is the difference between the cilia and flagella?

Cilia are short, hair like appendages extending from the surface of a living cell. Flagella are long, threadlike appendages on the surface of a living cell.

Eukaryotic cilia and flagella are motile organelles built on a scaffold of doublet microtubules and powered by dynein ATPase motors.
